Add support for multiple, shared, early initrd images. These early
images will be loaded in the order declared, and all will be loaded
before the initrd image.
While many classes of data can be provided by early images, the
immediate use case would be for distributions to provide CPU
microcode to mitigate the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities.
Xen has also support to load microcode updates provided as additional
modules by the bootloader.
There are two environment variables provided for declaring the early
images.
* GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_STOCK is for the distribution declare
images that are provided by the distribution or installed packages.
If undeclared, this will default to a set of common microcode image
names.
* GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_CUSTOM is for user created images. User
images will be loaded after the stock images.
These separate configurations allow the distribution and user to
declare different image sets without clobbering each other.
This also makes a minor update to ensure that UUID partition labels
stay disabled when no initrd image is found, even if early images are
present.
This is basically a copy of a698240d "grub-mkconfig/10_linux: Support
multiple early initrd images" by Matthew S. Turnbull.

If / is on the root dataset in a ZFS pool, then ${bootfs} will be set to
"/" (whereas if it is on a non-root dataset, there will be no trailing
slash). Passing "root=ZFS=${rpool}/" will fail to boot, but
"root=ZFS=${rpool}" works fine, so strip the trailing slash.

Update grub-mkconfig.in and 10_linux.in to support grub-probe's new
partuuid target. Update grub.texi documentation. The following table
shows how GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID, GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID, and
initramfs detection interact:
Initramfs GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID Linux Root
detected Set Set ID Method
false false false part UUID
false false true part UUID
false true false dev name
false true true dev name
true false false fs UUID
true false true part UUID
true true false fs UUID
true true true dev name
Note: GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID and GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID equate to
'false' when unset or set to any value other than 'true'.
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID defaults to 'true'.

Commit d33045ce7f introduced
the support for this, but it does not work under x86 (as it stops
20_linux_xen from running).
The 20_linux_xen is run under a shell and any exits from within it:
(For example on x86):
+ /usr/bin/grub2-file --is-arm64-efi /boot/xen-4.9.0.gz
[root@tst063 grub]# echo $?
1
will result in 20_linux_xen exiting without continuing
and also causing grub2-mkconfig to stop processing.
As in:
[root@tst063 grub]# ./grub-mkconfig | tail

This patch adds the support of xen_boot command for aarch64:
xen_hypervisor
xen_module
These two commands are only for aarch64, since it has its own protocol and
commands to boot xen hypervisor and Dom0, but not multiboot.
For other architectures, they are still using multiboot and module
commands.

If root filesystem is multidev btrfs, do not attempt to pass all devices as
kernel root= argument. This results in splitting command line in GRUB due to
embedded newline and even if we managed to quote it, kernel does not know how
to interpret it anyway. Multidev btrfs requires user space device scanning,
so passing single device would not work too.
This still respects user settings GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID. Not sure what we
should do in this case.
